Dining room makeover part two

This is my first before/after post - this was an incredible amount of work - but insanely satisfying due to the amazing transformation! i must say i have impressed even myself! hee hee

so here is the BEFORE:

spend a few moments appreciating the outdated 60's feel, the chunky look of the wood, the outdated hardware, the brass hinges, the overall less than stunningness of the piece...

i'll give you a moment to look without talking...

now here is the AFTER:

watch that you don't gasp too loudly and startle those around you!

take a few minutes and appreciate the stunning paint job - the beauty of the now distressed and antiqued wood, the way the crown molding pops and is a thing of beauty, the classic hardware, and lack of brass - in fact lets take a moment of quiet reflection to appreciate the transformation and my incredible talents.

now...go look thru your house and find something that i can transform for YOU!

thereasa: thanks! (you made me laugh) i got lucky and the ever so attractive part you see that is now gone was just something that someone on crack had nailed on there to add beauty. ha! it was purely decorative so i undecorated it :)

About Me

busy mother of five - four girls and a boy - ages 15 to 4. luckily i have horrible insomnia so i can paint at night (can you hear the sarcasm??) i have been married for 22 years to an incredible man (incase you're trying to do the math - yes - i got married when i was five). i never watch tv, love to play the piano and i almost always have music playing somewhere! this is the first little business i have ever attempted and although it is way out of my comfort zone to try and sell something (i am so NOT a sales person) i am absolutely loving it.
